$HALF-BILLION! Powerball raised again on monster salesReply
Mathematically it is still better to play 104 tickets in 1 drawing rather than 1 ticket in 104 drawings. After all, the goal is to win at least once, and the probability of doing so is highest with the all-in method. If you win once, then you could easily use those winnings to win as many more times as you can afford. Thus, the idea of 104 jackpots or whatever is unnecessary. It doesn't matter if the difference is small, the fact is there is a difference. Most people don't have the restraint

$HALF-BILLION! Powerball raised again on monster salesReply
Do you really think 1 or 104 tickets makes that big of a difference when there are 175,000,000 possible numbers? What you're saying would make sense in a raffle, but not the lottery where there is such a high number of possibilities. Whether it's 1 line for each draw of the year or 104 lines for one draw, your chances of winning are pretty much the same. If you have $416 you want to use for research, go buy 104 lines for tonight, and then a single line ticket for tonight and for the following

$485 MILLION: Powerball jackpot raisedReply
You discussing Two different scenarios here Pia- one where people are Pooling their money, and one where people are buying tickets on the side. If you are running a pool or in a pool as you say- you will have to agree with me that collectively ALL are hoping to Split the money. what's the mystery? Where do you get the idea that l said people play these bigger jackpots are hoping to split?- l said l would like to see a split when it gets this high. My oh My...

$485 MILLION: Powerball jackpot raisedReply
l play MM a lot less, have won $5.00 here and there - have won more on PB than your $100.00- l was not elated because my wager was a lot higher than my win. Clarification: At no point in any of my discussions have l ever asked or told people to join me in calling for splits to jackpots .. opinions are like noses, everyone has one. Sometimes we tend to forget...l think! and you?

'Mirage' jackpotsReply
And there's no penalty for lottery officials being wrong. For example, the widely advertised Powerball jackpot of $600 million annuity, back in 2013, turned out to less when actually won at ~$590 million annuity. Not a huge difference, relatively speaking, but a difference nevertheless. I'm surprised Powerball lottery officials didn't pay the advertised amount (would have only cost them an additional ~$6 million), since some players, and at least one mainstream news article, noticed the discrepa

You in a Pool that forbids anyone buying tickets " on the side"-However..Reply
The pool I run is the same way. We have 11 members total and everyone gets a copy of the pool tickets. In addition, I buy multidraw tickets every 2 weeks on payday which cover all 4 drawings. I do know some members, myself included, do buy our own tickets and when the jackpots get big, some of us participate in other pools if someone starts one up. Since we know which tickets are for the pool, there's no question which tickets are individual and which are for the pool. If an individual win

432,437,442,447 NEXT POWERBALL rollover jackpot ?Reply
There's no penalty for lottery officials being wrong. While usually they're close / right on, they're not always. The $600 million annuity Powerball jackpot widely advertised a couple of years ago turned out to be around $590 million annuity (one winner in Florida) when it was done. False advertising, but few noticed, though some did - I recall at least one mainstream news article pointing out the discrepancy. Ever since then, I've been skeptical of advertised jackpots for Powerball and Mega Mil

$380 MILLION: Massive sales push Powerball jackpot higherReply
We will have to take up a collection to send Todd and his team oxygen and Starbucks gift certificates. The latest estimate gives a 72.9% chance of rollover for this specific drawing, whereas we are also entering the 90% cumulative percentile. I'm actually surprised the jackpot got a boost because normally it doesn't jump until it gets in record territory. Guess everyone has been impatient for big jackpots I won't be participating tonight, but if it rolls without a winner I may buy a t

Wisconsin man repeats same feat of winning multiple lottery jackpotsNews Story
By Todd Northrop Last week, the Wisconsin Lottery announced that three SuperCash! winning tickets had been sold in Dane County. Amazingly, all three winning lottery tickets were purchased by the same person from three different stores. But the real jaw-dropping part? He's done this before. Verlyn Adamson of Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, is the lucky winner of all three top prizes from the Monday, January 26 SuperCash! daily lotto game. His winning tickets matched all six numbers of 3, 10,

I'll take a guess and say male because it seems most of the members are male. Kind of like California winning 'all those' jackpots just because of population. Ut-oh!
